Republican attempts to repeal Obamacare match Einstein's definition of stupidity: Doing the same thing repeatedly but expecting different results. This is attempt No. 55.

Trump just might be the catalyst to hasten the return of our Lord. Other things are falling into place.

The Donald just closed The Hillary down. How is she going to play the War on Women, with Bill groping in the wings?

Dear Mr. Obama, today we received notice of the pending 124.61 percent increase in our health insurance premiums. Thanks a lot.

Poor old Donald Trump can't figure out which Clinton, Bill or Hillary, he's running against, bless his heart.

Hope and change? How about despair, more poverty, more food stamps, more division, less security, worse education, more entitlements and international disgrace.

Not surprising that al-Qaeda would try to damage Trump by using his words. Nothing it and ISIS would like more than Hillary as president.

Hey, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders: "Greed, fraud, dishonesty and arrogance" sounds more like you politicians than it does any banker.

Republicans object to the president's gun law proposal. As with Obamacare, these do-nothings offer no alternative.

Embarrassed to live in Tennessee. Ignorance and no compassion for children, for families ruined by gun violence. Your foolish rhetoric does not represent us.

Really bright for the TFP to run an A1 story about increased guns sales ahead of Obama's announcement. I'm surprised a free bullet wasn't stickered on the banner.

President Obama took the first step to get guns under control. This is the way the government got the drug problem under control. Oh, wait

Cars: Must register when buying; have a license to drive. Why? They can be dangerous. Guns can be dangerous. Did I use simple enough words?

State Rep. Holt's rude and classless remarks to Obama were another example of ignorance from one of NRA's "hired guns."

After a decade of failing to fully fund the TVA pension fund, TVA upper management wants to know why TVA employees are not "engaged."

Hey VW, welcome to the wonderful world of the UAW!

Is it just me or are most of the Nissan commercials promoting reckless driving?

Based on his commentary, that guy from Batesville, Ark., (Bradley Gitz) who supposedly is a teacher, learned nothing about the long-term deleterious effects of segregation.

Your sons might still be alive if you'd teach them not to threaten policemen with guns, knives and bats.

Vanderbilt rape, Ooltewah alleged assault, paying for dog's cancer treatment with credit card. Common sense missing here.

Coaches are responsible for the safety of their players on road trips. Are they being held accountable for what happened to their young basketball player?

Young men have been charged as adults for less than the gang rape/brutal assault on a school child.

For once, Thurman is right. Cancel remaining games, and spend the practice time in human decency training.

Sexual assault, not "hazing." Criminal prosecution, not "disciplinary action." Team should forfeit entire season. Coaches disciplined.

The basketball players who assaulted their fellow team player are disgraceful. They are no more than uncivilized savages.

Police need a warrant to see my driver's license because it is an invasion of privacy? Yet, every clerk sees it for alcohol purchases. Really?

The Sunday church crowd should finish their screaming with the hallelujahs and not continue it at restaurants afterward. Rude!

Why do you need a man cave? Where's the woman cave?

Waiters need to stop calling diners sweetie, honey, you guys. A simple sir or ma'am will do.

Conservatives love the Bible. It's divided into verses and chapters making it easier for them to memorize the parts they like and dismiss the rest.

It's appalling that a picture of a roasting pig, eyes wide open, is even considered to be a "Photo of the Year."
